I strongly believe that Reading Books certainly could not be replaced by any innovation like Internet. Books might be available in the Internet; but, can any one carry it with him/her to the remote/deep forest/hill/shore and read it whenever he/she wants? No way, E-books can't & never replace the Printed Books. Be honest, eventhough my career is in Computer/Internet, still my love on reading the Printed Books never diminish; whenever I visit India for vacation, I go to Higginbothems, in Chennai and buy many books and read them during my vacation or travell in the train/bus/flight. Books are good & real friends whatever be the innovation takes place.
